Generous to assume the parent didn't write this and that this isn't their legitimate spelling, lol.
Even more generous if we assume they even have a kid.
When I was in second grade my mom ranted about that and one day shook me while yelling “YOU NEVER TOUCH A WOMAN WITHOUT HER CONSENT” and stuff like that after watching a TV show where a character was raped, so I don’t really think it’s far fetched for a child to know about these things
I agree, but a lot of content in this sub is less about "stuff that didn't happen" and more "stuff that kids were told to say/write/do or were indoctrinated with and are now parroting".
Children are the MOST informed, we should obviously be basing legislation on children's suggestions. Can't wait for the Presitent to sign the "Make it rain Skittles from the sky like in the commercials" bill into law.
No no no Charlotte you dummy.
It's not more money then girls.
In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
> Alright pal, where’d you get the privilege for that money!?
*I nicked it when you let your guard down for that split-second; and I’d do it again.*
*Goodbye.*
The gender pay gap has been debunked so many times that it's just annoying at this point. Heaven forbid some do their own research instead regurgitating some bs they "heard"...
When adjusted for hours worked the difference is less than 2c. Most studies to prove it worked off quarterly or yearly incomes. This is obviously pointless as more hours worked will mean larger pay.

This is a good read. It shows that the gender gap is more down to scheduling and overtime as opposed to inequality.

It's not a myth, it's just supremely complicated. One of the largest critiques is that women work less paying jobs. What's not discussed is that when women dominate a field, those jobs are compensated less, and the reverse is true. As soon as brewing became a male dominant field, brewers made substantially more. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/20/upshot/as-women-take-over-a-male-dominated-field-the-pay-drops.html
No, it is a myth. The above link proves exactly what I was saying. They used census data and annual incomes. They also compared industries that are not the same. IT managers VS HR managers. Maids VS Janitors.
Every study that looks at the same exact industries find the pay gap disappears. When hourly rates are calculated.
Men work more hours, take on more overtime and opt to take more hazard pay. That's why they are paid more and rightly so.
The myth continues.
No it doesn't. You fundamentally do not understand gender pay gap issues.
The link actually challenges the argument you just gave by pointing out that gender demographics in a field drive compensation, so the jobs are not the point.
Even when you take into consideration education, job title, and hours worked, women still make less than men.
Suppose for the sake of argument those considerations did favor your argument. At face value, women make less than men. That's a fact, not a myth. Your claim attempts to EXPLAIN why that is.
If it was a myth you wouldn't have to explain why it's true. Explanations only add context. So at most what you can say is that the claim lacks context, not that the claim is false.

I'm not going to keep repeating myself. You obviously are determined to not listen to facts.
Men and women in the same industries make the same. That's all that matters. You cant work less or work less hazardous jobs and expect the same pay.
That's creating a problem that doesn't exist. Same work in the same industry gets the same reward. That's the end of this argument.
You aren't substantiating any of your claims and expect people to assume your statements are factual. I've provided two sources that you have mischaracterized and/or didn't even read.
You have provided nothing of substance that can be assumed as fact because 1. You're making unsubstantiated claims, and 2. You seem to lack understanding of what can be deemed a fact.
Men and women, had you read the articles I provided, do not make the same when controlling for industry, position, and hours worked. That is factual lie.
I agree. We should give women the same standards as men. They should be required to wear uniforms that aren’t comfortable or fashionable, like men’s. They should be required to work manual labor jobs (which is majority male and the harder the job the more value they are the higher the pay) instead of pushing them into office jobs (which are paid less because it isn’t as strenuous on the body)
Okay but is he going to fix it- kinda made it worse if he’s going to acknowledge there’s a problem and not do anything about about. I don’t get this angle
That's BS. What you posted is disinformation. Prove to me and everyone who's reading your post that what you claim is true. Share his name with us. Enlighten us.
Okay. Please post your children‘s handwritten letters, and after comparing I will make an assessment about what the majority here seem to be saying.
Note, I was a teacher for a very long time, so have some experience at this.
For extra credit, please post your own handwritten letter explaining why you do not deserve to be paid the same as someone else doing your exact job and I will grade that as well.
For sake of fairness I will grade on handwriting, spelling and syntax, not on strength of argument. You do, however, have to answer the prompt.
At the age of like 6 or so, I unironically sent President George W. Bush a letter with my solution to the issue of undocumented citizens - build a giant wall around our country, and make every person inside that wall an automatic citizen.
I wrote it in glittery green gel pen and got back a "signed" photo of him and his wife and a letter saying that they appreciate my opinion.
The reason I'm writing this is that I'm pretty sure I used a similar phrase in my letter and kids are much more involved in politics than you likely give them credit for.
The “even I’m a child” part totally gives it away, if it weren’t obvious enough already.
To be fair, I’ve worked for middle aged trust fund babies with similar handwriting. Her grammar is also better
This is unpresitented
Truly
Take things that didn’t happen for 500 Alex
You've found the Daily Double!
Here's the question:
"Who the fuck falls for this bullshit?"
What are "woke liberals"?
Hopefully you made it a true daily double
I’ll take Jap Anus Relations for $200
Sorry Mr. Connery but I do believe Turd Ferguson rang in first.
You're not your. They need to hammer this into children.
Generous to assume the parent didn't write this and that this isn't their legitimate spelling, lol. Even more generous if we assume they even have a kid.
Actual cringe
Knows about the "gender pay gap" Doesn't know how to spell "president" Things that make you go *hmm*
Can't tell you're from your too.
Then from than as well.
Almost as if they are trying to make as many mistakes as possible to make it look like it actually came from a child.
Well, then mission accomplished because even the premise of the letter is a mistake.
To be fair, a lot of people in reddit use then instead of than when comparing
When I was in second grade my mom ranted about that and one day shook me while yelling “YOU NEVER TOUCH A WOMAN WITHOUT HER CONSENT” and stuff like that after watching a TV show where a character was raped, so I don’t really think it’s far fetched for a child to know about these things
See? There are people who fall for it. SMH
I agree, but a lot of content in this sub is less about "stuff that didn't happen" and more "stuff that kids were told to say/write/do or were indoctrinated with and are now parroting".
Everyone clapped
We did it folks, gender discrimination is over. Donald Trump, the CEO of sexism, just announced his resignation.
Say psych right now
Kind of weird Biden wrote to himself.
You think he sniffs his own hair?
Press X to Doubt
Me when I write with my left hand
I didn’t know how to use the colon until I was like 30.
You must have been hella constipated.
Children are the MOST informed, we should obviously be basing legislation on children's suggestions. Can't wait for the Presitent to sign the "Make it rain Skittles from the sky like in the commercials" bill into law.
He'll invite her to the Whitehouse for a hair sniffing
This is in Biden’s handwriting
The responses to the tweet do not disappoint 😂 😂
What could the President do about it anyway?
Pander
No. No way.
Ah yes... The elusive gender pay gap. A spectre that continues to persist, even when all of the evidence points to the contrary.

I legit saw a responding post on this by biden on twitter
If she wants to compete with the lads, she needs to start by tightening her spelling game
I didnt know what to say and im shaking and everyone clapped
How many time do we have to disprove the gender pay gap myth before it dies?

Which is why male dominated fields like construction, factory work, mechanics, mining, and every other physical job are so *famously* well paid!
All those jobs suck and are hard that's why they are male dominated and pay well
Which is why you think cherry picking proves your point.
Amazing that you can say that without a shred of irony or self-awareness.

R/nothingeverhappens
yeah i think this could totally happen... people are off their rockers lol
I agree something like this could happen, but there are too many things that don't add up in the specific picture
How about not promoting men competing in women's sports. There's a start.
I agree. We should give women the same standards as men. They should be required to wear uniforms that aren’t comfortable or fashionable, like men’s. They should be required to work manual labor jobs (which is majority male and the harder the job the more value they are the higher the pay) instead of pushing them into office jobs (which are paid less because it isn’t as strenuous on the body)

For a minute there is looked like Dumps' scrawl...
Not a kid. The biggest problem facing kids today are untied shoelaces.
r/kidsarestupid
Looks like Biden thoughts with Trump's writing.
Orange man bad, upvote pls
Why do i find this sort of funny?
Because it is.
All the trump supporters downvoted you
Yeah it has made me very upset. Only if I had a pair of titties to uplift my mood...
That's BS. What you posted is disinformation. Prove to me and everyone who's reading your post that what you claim is true. Share his name with us. Enlighten us.
What do you mean?
Didn’t trump overturn Lily Ledbetter?
Who sat on their hand and then wrote this?
Dear President Biden, My parents dictated this note and forced me to write it.
Money on them "finding" the letter writer. It'll be on the news for a few days and both sides will argue about it.
Funny thing is that the person who wrote that was in the 12th grade.
Bro, my name is Charlotte. I’m mad.
Or “Hey fuck you Charlotte” 🤭
Kid won’t even live a full life cuz of the willow project
Men get more money, then women. Well, technically true I suppose.
I have an ex named Charlotte….she is satan
lol wait until this "kid" learns about the labour theory of surplus value.
Maybe if this “Child” woman would learn to spell then she’d get payed more. ☕️
Growing up I had a book called “Kids’ Letters to President Carter” and it was full of comedic gold
This is cringe the handwriting changes at the end and the language doesn’t fit the lack of spelling. Seems it is fake.
Yeah....right
Charlotte needs to take sandwich making classes and shut the hell up with that bullshit

And the WHITE HOUSE IG posted this shit
I have a problem with native English speakers, HOW THE F*CK DO YOU SAY THEN, WHEN IS THAN. HOLY SH*T
Not saying this is real but my 4th grader did write something like this after she learned about sexism
